Translation & Localization
helio / translation-localizationGive it a glossary and a tone. Your AI teammate translates or rewrites content in bulk and keeps every page using the same terms as the last one.
What is Translation & Localization?
- ·Translates a whole batch against one glossary: Every document matched to the same approved terms and tone, instead of drifting page to page.
- ·Flags glossary gaps instead of guessing: A term with no approved translation gets surfaced, not improvised.
- ·Audits existing content for drift: Scans already-translated documents, surfaces every variant of a key term, and proposes one glossary entry to standardize on.
- ·Prioritizes the cleanup: Ranks pages by how much terminology drift they have, so the worst ones get fixed first.

Questions
- Does it need a glossary to start?
- It works best with one, but it can also build a first-draft glossary by scanning your existing translated content for the terms that keep coming up.
- Are numbers and technical terms preserved exactly?
- Yes — numbers, units, and any term flagged as technical are held constant. A review pass spot-checks these before anything is treated as final.
- Can it handle more than two languages?
- Yes. The glossary can hold approved terms for as many target languages as you need; each batch just specifies which one to translate into.
- Does it publish translations automatically?
- No — it produces the translated draft for review. Publishing is a separate step you control.
Keep every page speaking the same language.
Give Helio a glossary once — every translation after that holds the same terms and tone.
